I have seen a few places on the net saying that its the beaked sea snake, however, its not. Its a relatively benign species, quite common in Secret Bay, Bali, however... I can't remember the name! haha

I've never even seen a sea snake, but I stumbled onto a site that describes an uncommon species with spiny scales. I thought it looked a lot like your snake. What do you think? Did it have spiny scales?

Here is Kinishka response after he was sent a link to this discussion:

"Hi John,

Thanks for the message. The snake on the photograph is the Common File snake (Acrochordus granulatus) (check this link: http://en.wikipedia....rdus_granulatus). This is not a true sea snake. It belongs to the family Acrochordidae. They are mainly brackish water species, but they are well known to enter the sea as well.
